Rattie had just as good of a year as Etem and he's a year younger. I don't put too much stock into junior stats because there's too many variables. Tarasenko truly deserved this credit. The fact that THN kept him out of the top 3 was proof that they put too much stock into the WJC.

Tarasenko is a good choice, as is Schwartz for an honorable mention. Pretty crazy that the Blues are already so good, and so young, and guys like Tarasenko and Schwartz aren't even making an impact yet. Scary good future for that team.
